I feel this is an overly polemic reading. It is made clear in the film that his impetus is not torment, but rather mourning. He is searching for acceptance through loss. He wants people to miss him, because that's when he's felt the most love. And I think it's more that his mother is apathetic that we feel Harold is justified in that torment. The affluence comments on that icy distance, the race issue is nearly irrelevant because there's no other races to play off in the picture, and I don't think Ashby is traumatizing women specifically. Surely he lampoons the 70s feminine/feminist ideals to an extent, but he also tackles the military industrial complex and drug culture, to name a few other era-specific subjects.

You don't think that perhaps her "lust for life" is a product of her survival?

Other than a big "boo hoo, Richie Rich just wants to be accepted," my immediate reaction is that there had to be a less heavy handed way to portray this character.

Quote:

Structurally, that's how it functions as a late-in-the-game revelation that's supposed to explain everything about this character and can because she's so broadly defined. I found it offensive and reductive in equal measures.

I think you are blind to the character's (and the character's function's) nuances. I don't think he's heavy-handed at all. I've seen the film, oh, I don't know, maybe ten times, and each time I get a completely different reading of Harold. Surely his role works on a perfunctory level that you see it on, but there's much much more.

Quote:

So are you saying that structurally, the movie suggests that the Holocaust transformed her or are you saying that her joie de vivre helped her through the Holocaust?

And I do not entirely disagree with your response: Maude kind of annoys me, particularly in her broad definition. In this way, I see your point about Harold insofar as he acts as a broad foil to her broadness. But again, here I think that you are falling into a classic baby doll trap, which is that you're letting your presumptions overpower a more nuanced engagement. Not saying you're wrong. Just saying that there's a noticeable jerking of knees here.

Truth be told, I wasn't blown away by my #2 or #3.

soitgoes... King of the Impossible Rep Power: 6 Rep Points: 633	1. McCabe and Mrs. Miller (Robert Altman) 2. The Last Picture Show (Peter Bogdanovich) 3. Punishment Park (Peter Watkins) 4. Walkabout (Nicolas Roeg) 5. Love (Károly Makk) ------------------------------------ 6. Straw Dogs (Sam Peckinpah) 7. Bay of Blood (Mario Bava) 8. W.R.: Mysteries of the Organism (Dusan Makavegev) I am hoping to watch Throw Away Your Books, Rally in the Streets before this is over. Then again I'm absolutely certain it won't matter outside of how many points my top 4 now will receive. Also, I can't believe we only have about 6 or so of these left. Good job Match-Cut! __________________ Anzukko (Naruse 58) **½ Los Angeles Plays Itself* (Andersen 03) **** Fires Were Started (Jennings 43) *½ On the Town* (Donen/Kelly 49) *** The Ghost Writer (Polanski 10) *** Hotel Terminus: The Life and Times of Klaus Barbie (Ophüls 88) *** Johnny Guitar (Ray 54) **½ The Asphalt Jungle* (Huston 50) **½ Pandora and the Flying Dutchman* (Lewin 51) *½ Babes in Arms* (Berkeley 39) *½ Viewing log and all films seen
